1K upgrades
 

Well, I think I did something really stupid. Was there a pair of confirmable upgrades hidden inside the survey in the 1K membership renewal kit?

Since I filled out the survey on line, I tossed the paper one. Did I toss two very valuable coupons with it?

What should I do?

Yes, there were 2 of these in the kit and they were folded in with the survey, so I can see how you might have given them the heave-hoe, but you shouldn't have trouble replacing these. Call MP and explain the situation. Since these upgrades are "system traceable" they can void out the certificate numbers and issue new ones (if you go to the Mileage Summary on United's web site, you can see these listed on your account as awards issued on Jan 2, 1999). Once the old numbers have been voided, if anyone tries to use them, they will be kicked back to the ticketing/check-in agent as lost or stolen and be voided on the spot. So on these type of certs, United usually has no trouble re-issuing them if lost or stolen. Let us know how it goes!

I think if airlines/hotels etc are sending surveys they should sent them SEPARATELY FROM OTHER FREQUENT FLYER MATERIAL.

What happened to the mightly Quiet Lion (another cat-related member YEAH!) could happen to any of us. In our rush to get through tons of mail, we could lose valuable information.

When I first joined U-A eons ago, I threw out most of the pack. Then Yaz knocked down the garbage (he was made about something.) And on the floor amid the other trash was four upgrade certificates!!! I would have been crushed if I lost them!

So the cat's system is to put all the travel related mail (except reservations) in a folder called (ff stuff to be filed) and on a weekend like sunday morning go through each piece of paper VERY CAREFULLY!!! CATMAN

Happy ending: UA is sending me replacements. Thanks guys!

You're very welcome. Glad you're getting replacements! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
